THE DIFFERENCE.

The New York Star, in comment
ing on President sCLEvELAND's Get
tysburg letter, pointedly says: "To
Cleveland and those who GO with him
the heroic memories of the war are
pledges of perpetual .peace in union.
To Sherman and his followers the
recollections of civil strife are embers
to be famed into flames of political
hate. The country, North and South,
cherishes the memory of deeds of val
or, and stands by Cleveland and
reconciliation against Sherman and
dissension.'

The Fourth at Germanton.

A number of our people attended
the grand Fourth of July and Rail
road celebration at Germanton, the
present terminus of the G. F. & Y. v.
R. R., and from one in ATTENDANCE we
learn that old Germanton bestirred
herself on that day and her people
felt correspondingly jubilant over the
bright prospects of the county's flu
ture.
Appropriate speeches were made by
Col. Jno. n. Staples, Col. J. T. More
head, Mr.. Julius A. Gray, Mr.. Frank
Caldwell, of Greensboro, and Mr.. J.
III. Joyce, of Danbury. The speakers
were introduced by Mr.. Thomas
Baine, of Germanton. Mr.. Gray's
speech was short and pointed and
business-like. Messrs. Morehead and
Caldwell kept the crowd in a good
hupor.
They were all there-5,000 strong.
They came to see ON this natal day Of
the nation, the tread of the iron horse
on the soil of old Stokes. They be-
came filed with pride and patriotism
and ginger cake and lemonade and
were happy. Long life and peace
and prosperity to the worthy and con-
tented people of good old Stokes!
GERMANToN FLASHES.

"Isn't this the biggest crowd that

stranger. "Lord, no, man." answered
a bystander, "the circus was here
once"
Everything passed off pleasantly
except the woundin2 of Mr.. w. F.
Trogdon, of Greensboro, by a burly,
drunken negro, named Hairston. Just
before the Greensboro train left,
Hairston made some obscene remarks
about some ladies who were passing.
Young Trexler demonstrated with
him, whereupon Hairston became en-
ragged and began to cane Trexler, who
called for help. Mr.. Trogden came
to the rescue, but he was also struck
by Hairston with the loaded end Of
the cane, the blow fracturing the
frontal bone Of the forehead. His
case is critical, but hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery. Hairston fled.

a Fatal. MISTAKE.

4HE CGeUetO7lO \/nloI 1TeSS,
of February 23d, 1883, pub
1ished an account of fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DIR. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was constant tired and lam
guild feeling. Thenfollowed
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by Or.
Vance In the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwen of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and disrnay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution flor
this was what the disease really
vast, she woul1s have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roors, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of it's
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the aytiele has an

the one which is so commonly fallen into of

a duke, marquis or count, one gives him
his nobility appellation once or twice to con-

familiarity, and not generally practiced at
all among men. Women should be careful

"snakes" i'm the temperance Cun.

Sir Henry Thompson, the great English
teetotaler physician, who refuses to treat any
one in illness who drinks alcoholic beverages,
says, nevertheless, that the only water which
is perfectly safe to drink, unless it has been
boiled and filtered, is natural mineral water.

cule will grow and thrive in the inside of the
indiscriminate water drinker who has swal-

exhausts his health and strength. The victim
wonders why he or she feels so much discom-

The Doom of the Gar.

While the czar must take pleasure in the
congratulations that have poured in upon
him over his recent escape from assassination,
we may be sure that he does not find in
his good fortune an augury of future escapes.
His father survived four attempts to take
his Ife-one being made by Zaragazoff, in
1866, at st. Petersburg; a second by Bere-
chovsky the following year at Paris; the
third by Solovieff, in 1878, at St Petersburg,
the fourth occurring soon after at Moscow
Yet all these were to end in his falling
victim to the assassins bomb in March, 1881.
In like manner the present car must recog-
nize only too well that the revival of plots to
kill him means also their repetition at con-
venient times, and with all the devices which
modern science puts at the command of the
